  • Patent number: 11943494
    Abstract: Systems and methods for adaptively adjusting a slew rate of a dejitter buffer in a remote device in a distributed access architecture. The slew rate may be adjusted based on measurements of a fullness state of a buffer made over time. The measurements may be used to calculate a frequency offset value between the rate at which data leaves the buffer relative to the rate at which data enters the buffer and/or used to calculate a current working depth of the buffer. The adaptive slew rate adjustments may be based on the frequency offset value and/or the current working depth.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20240007379
    Abstract: Systems and methods for measuring the amount of jitter in a network providing data to a remote device in a distributed access architecture based on a measured queue depth in a dejitter buffer relative to a plurality of different adjustable thresholds.
